You can add Fast Track when you book your flight online, often for a small fee (usually between £4 and £8). Or, you can buy it at the airport on the day, though it might cost a bit more. Pro tip: Always buy it online—it’s cheaper and one less thing to think about when you’re already juggling boarding passes and phone chargers.
Just make sure your flight actually departs from East Midlands, not some other airport. I once saw a man try to use his Fast Track pass at Manchester Airport. The security guard looked at him like he was trying to pay for a bus ticket with Monopoly money. Don’t be that guy. Check your airport code: EMA.
In the end, East Midlands Airport Security Fast Track is about one simple thing: buying back a little bit of your day. It’s the difference between starting your holiday already stressed and starting it with a smug grin and a warm cappuccino in hand. And honestly? That feeling is worth more than the price of a cold, airport sandwich.
